yeah, i bet this is in anticipation of the upcoming system seller...... **cue MGS4 intro**

You beat me to it. WAL-MART does extensive market studies and they know they can sale bunch of PS3's with deals because of MGS4.

Maddens Raiders5810d ago (Edited 5810d ago )

I don't know what I'm more shocked by (if this remotely true): the fact that PS3's are essentially dropping to $300 USD or the fact that Wal-Mart is giving away money to use in their stores at the same time! (kind of beneath them to do such things given their history)

Damn I really want the 80GB MGS machine, but this would be damn near idiotic to pass up.

crck5810d ago (Edited 5810d ago )

$100 worth of blu-ray movies will get you 3 or 4. During the holidays it was spiderman 3 blu-ray free and 5 blu-ray movies by mail. This offer is slightly better because you can choose any movies you want and not wait fo them or sell the card on ebay. But its not that much better.

tweaker5810d ago (Edited 5810d ago )

Wow it would be a sweet deal if they still sold the 80gb SKU. America wants the highest available model Sony.

dauden5810d ago

If you look at the picture of the article you will see that the gift card is for Blu-Ray movies only. Still a great offer imo.

tweaker5810d ago

Damn your right. It is still a pretty good deal though.

Tmac5810d ago

It doesn't say movies only, it says Blu-Ray Discs only.

dauden5810d ago

Damn, you're right. Guess the little picture of the actual gift card convinced me it was movies only. I'm curious. Anyone want to find out?

kspraydad5810d ago (Edited 5810d ago )

a Blu-ray Gift Card...where does it say 'Blu-ray discs only'? I don't see it.

No where does it mention what the restrictions are...that is yet to be determined. AFAIK it is a 'theme' card but use is not restricted.

So basically kinda in a way sorta.. Your getting a 40g Ps3 for 299.. Its kinda in a way sorta a price drop

I like it.. Use the 100 bucks on a game and HDMI cable they have for only 30 bucks.. 10 bucks left over for some soda and chips..

Thats a good day

crck5810d ago

There as cheap as chips these days. I got in on a sale three 6 feet hdmi cables for $10 shipped. $3.33 each.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil4d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing693d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle3d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa3d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing13d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
